I sighed, and answered "Ok Rob, I'll see you later." I suppose I should explain who this I is. I am Jessica Mastriani, aka Lightening Girl. There's been a movie, and a TV show all about my life. I was sighing, because my husband Rob Wilkins was going to be getting home late again from his garage. Not a house garage, but a real garage, where people pay him to fix their cars and motorcycles. Rob and I have been married for the past three years, but we still feel like newlyweds.
2 Hours Later
"Where is he," I wonder silently, "He isn't answering his cell phone or the phone at the garage." I start to worry, because it's not like Rob to go somewhere, and not tell me where. He says he always tells me, because I will just go to bed and have a dream anyways, so why bother lying. I know in the pit of my stomach that something has probably gone wrong. Not that it's the first time anything in my life has gone wrong with Rob; this just feels more serious than the other times. "I know," I suddenly exclaim, "I'll call Chick and see if he knows where Rob is." I throw on my coat and shoes and run out the door. I rev up my motorcycle, Blue Beauty, and drive down the highway to Chick's. Chick's is a biker bar that Rob and I love. When I get there, I ask to speak to Chick ASAP. Chick exits the kitchen and says, "Jessica, long time no sees. What can I help you with?"
"Its Rob is he here? " I ask, terrified of the answer.
"No, I haven't seen the bugger in a week, prolly the last time you two were here. Why, Jess what's wrong."
As soon as I hear the answer, I break down. I'm getting so scared, I think I'll puke. Finally, I catch my breath, and tell Chick that Rob hasn't called and how terrified I am.
"Ah shit, Jess, he's prolly out with the boys from work. Just relax, and if he's not home in the morning, call me, ok. Rob's a big boy, and he can go out and not tell you." Chick answered.
"Fine, but if he's not home, I'll call you, and there will be hell to pay. I'll call you." I say as I leave.
Even though I want Chick to be right, I can't shake this feeling that something's wrong. I feel as though Rob was kidnapped. Maybe Chick's right, I'm probably over-reacting. I'll just go to bed and kick Rob's ass in the morning.

As soon as I see Jessica Mastriani at the door, I know something serious is going on. When she spills her story about her worry over Rob, I'm tempted to laugh. She acts like the man's mother. I know she loves him, but she needs to back off. I tell her he's prolly out with some guys from work. I'm sure everything's fine. Jessica is an amazing girl, but she does over-react when it comes to Rob and his safety. Now, I have to get back into the kitchen, and finish nursing that beer Jess interrupted.
